“I’m fortunate to step into this role with Kelly by my side, as I know we are a great team with high personal standards for client service,” said Haney. “FirstBank’s local approach to banking is a perfect match for us, and I look forward to working with new and familiar faces in the area as we help to grow in Chattanooga!”  

Still brings 42 years of banking experience to her new role as Relationship Manager Assistant, where she will support Haney and other team members as they build, strengthen, and maintain long-standing relationships with current and prospective clients. She, too, comes to FirstBank from SmartBank and has held a wide variety of positions through her decades in the industry. Still has resided in East Ridge for 35 years, and in her free time, she enjoys volunteering on the Food Bank Team at Brainerd Baptist Church and spending time with her husband, two children, and three grandchildren.
